Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Just some casual sexism.
I was reading it as a lesbian coming out story
Saying "it's men" implies men are at fault for her not liking men. Saying it's women would imply she is attracted to women
But “it’s men” is kind of a pun on “it’s me”, which is the original trope this is referencing. Doesn’t really work with “it’s women”.
That comic sure would have benefitted from a second panel
I take it as a way to bring attention to the topic for some more nuanced discussion to flow. I don't think the artist was trying to be sexist when making this.
idk that's just my interpretation though
edit: Here's another example that might get the double meaning across better
